Below are a summary of all the misdemeanors we normally work with. I did want to outline the Top 10 Most Difficult because these Top 15, although they are "solvable" usually result in fewer options for our clients; this list is not in order of difficulty:

1. DWI (second offense)
2. Assault Family Violence (considered by most apts to be a violent charge)
3. Assault with bodily injury (considered by most apts to be a violent charge)
4. Burglary of a vehicle or vending machine

Class C Misdemeanors

Class C misdemeanors are considered the least serious type of Texas criminal offense. A traffic offense is a common Class C misdemeanor. Apartments can and sometimes will, decline for these offenses. Some other Class C offenses include:

Disorderly conduct
Public intoxication
Bad checks
Simple assault (considered by many apts to be a violent charge)
Criminal trespass

Bail jumping
Leaving a child in a vehicle
Petty theft such as shoplifting

Driving under the influence of alcohol by a minor
Minor in possession of alcohol

Class B Misdemeanors

Almost all apartments will review and will decline Class B misdemeanors unless they are older than that specific property cares about. They are considered more serious than Class C misdemeanors and the many (but not all apts) are concerned when someone has a Misdemeanor B. Examples are:

DWI (Driving while intoxicated) first offense

Class A misdemeanors are the most serious type of Texas misdemeanors. Some apartments will ban the offender for an extended period of time for these offenses (in fact some ban for a lifetime for violent misdemeanor A). Examples include:
